SEC. 334. SURFACE WARFARE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings: (1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one grounding involving United States Navy ships in the Western Pacific. The two most recent mishaps involved separate incidents of a Japan- based United States Navy destroyer colliding with a commercial merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of 17 sailors. (2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are linked directly to a failure to take sufficient action in accordance with the rules of good seamanship. (3) Because risks are high in the maritime environment, there are widely accepted standards for safe seamanship and navigation. In the United States, the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``STCW'') for Seafarers, standardizes the skills and foundational knowledge a maritime professional must have in seamanship and navigation. (4) Section 568 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2139) endorsed the STCW process and required the Secretary of Defense to maximize the extent to which Armed Forces service, training, and qualifications are creditable toward meeting merchant mariner licenses and certifications. (5) The Surface Warfare Officer Course Curriculum is being modified to include ten individual Go/No Go Mariner Assessments/ Competency Check Milestones to ensure standardization and quality of the surface warfare community. (6) The Military-to-Mariner Transition report of September 2017 notes the Army maintains an extensive STCW qualifications program and that a similar Navy program does not exist. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) the Secretary of the Navy should establish a comprehensive individual proficiency assessment process and include such [[Page 132 STAT. 1727]] an assessment prior to all operational surface warfare officer tour assignments; and (2) the Secretary of the Navy should significantly expand the STCW qualifications process to improve seamanship and navigation individual skills training for surface warfare candidates, surface warfare officers, quartermasters and operations specialists to include an increased set of courses that directly correspond to STCW standards. (c) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2019, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report that includes each of the following: (1) A detailed description of the surface warfare officer assessments process. (2) A list of programs that have been approved for credit toward merchant mariner credentials. (3) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare training curriculum and STCW. (4) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare training curriculum and the 3rd mate unlimited licensing requirement.

The policies shall include proposed revisions to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement as follows: (1) Required performance evaluations, as part of a government-wide evaluation reporting tool, for first-tier subcontractors on construction and architect-engineer contracts performing a portion of the contract valued at the threshold set forth in section 42.1502(e) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or 20 percent of the value of the prime contract, whichever is higher, provided-- (A) the information included in rating the subcontractor is not inconsistent with the information included in the rating for the prime contractor; (B) the subcontractor evaluation is conducted consistent with the provisions of section 42.15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation; (C) negative evaluations of a subcontractor in no way obviate the prime contractor's responsibility for successful completion of the contract and management of its subcontractors; and (D) that in the judgment of the contracting officer, the overall execution of the work is impacted by the performance of the subcontractor or subcontractors. (2) Required performance evaluations, as part of a government-wide evaluation reporting tool, of individual partners of joint venture-awarded construction and architect- engineer contracts valued at the threshold set forth in section 42.1502(e) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, to ensure that past performance on joint venture projects is considered in future awards to individual joint venture partners, provided-- (A) at a minimum, the rating for joint ventures includes an identification that allows the evaluation to be retrieved for each partner of the joint venture; (B) each partner, through the joint venture, is given the same opportunity to submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information, consistent with the provisions of section 42.15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation; and [[Page 132 STAT. 1856]] (C) the rating clearly identifies the responsibilities of joint venture partners for discrete elements of the work where the partners are not jointly and severally responsible for the project. (3) Processes to request exceptions from the annual evaluation requirement under section 42.1502(a) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation for construction and architect-engineer contracts where submission of the annual evaluations would not provide the best representation of the performance of a contractor, including subcontractors and joint venture partners, including-- (A) where no severable element of the work has been completed; (B) where the contracting officer determines that-- (i) an insubstantial portion of the contract work has been completed in the preceding year; and (ii) the lack of performance is at no fault to the contractor; or (C) where the contracting officer determines that there is an issue in dispute which, until resolved, would likely cause the annual rating to inaccurately reflect the past performance of the contractor.

Subtitle A-- <<NOTE: Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018.>> Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States SEC. 1701. <<NOTE: 50 USC 4501 note.>> SHORT TITLE: FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK REVIEW MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2018. This subtitle may be cited as the ``Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018''. SEC. 1702. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) <<NOTE: 50 USC 4565 note.>> Findings.--Congress makes the following findings: (1) According to a February 2016 report by the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce, 12,000,000 United States workers, equivalent to 8.5 percent of the labor force, have jobs resulting from foreign investment, including 3,500,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector alone. (2) In 2016, new foreign direct investment in United States manufacturing totaled $129,400,000,000. (3) The Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce concluded that, in 2015-- (A) foreign-owned affiliates in the United States-- (i) contributed $894,500,000,000 in value added to the United States economy; (ii) exported goods valued at $352,800,000,000, accounting for nearly a quarter of total exports of goods from the United States; and (iii) undertook $56,700,000,000 in research and development; and [[Page 132 STAT. 2175]] (B) the 7 countries investing the most in the United States, all of which are United States allies (the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, Switzerland, and the Netherlands) accounted for 72.1 percent of the value added by foreign-owned affiliates in the United States and more than 80 percent of research and development expenditures by such entities. (4) According to the Government Accountability Office, from 2011 to 2016, the number of transactions reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (commonly referred to as ``CFIUS'') grew by 55 percent, while the staff of the Committees assigned to the reviews increased by 11 percent. (5) According to a February 2018 report of the Government Accountability Office on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (GAO-18-249): ``Officials from Treasury and other member agencies are aware of pressures on their CFIUS staff given the current workload and have expressed concerns about possible workload increases.''. The Government Accountability Office concluded: ``Without attaining an understanding of the staffing levels needed to address the current and future CFIUS workload, particularly if legislative changes to CFIUS's authorities further expand its workload, CFIUS may be limited in its ability to fulfill its objectives and address threats to the national security of the United States.''. (6) On March 30, 1954, Dwight David Eisenhower--five-star general, Supreme Allied Commander, and 34th President of the United States--in his ``Special Message to the Congress on Foreign Economic Policy'', counseled: ``Great mutual advantages to buyer and seller, to producer and consumer, to investor and to the community where investment is made, accrue from high levels of trade and investment.''. President Eisenhower continued: ``The internal strength of the American economy has evolved from such a system of mutual advantage. In the press of other problems and in the haste to meet emergencies, this nation--and many other nations of the free world--have all too often lost sight of this central fact.''. President Eisenhower concluded: ``If we fail in our trade policy, we may fail in all. Our domestic employment, our standard of living, our security, and the solidarity of the free world--all are involved.''. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) foreign investment provides substantial economic benefits to the United States, including the promotion of economic growth, productivity, competitiveness, and job creation, thereby enhancing national security; (2) maintaining the commitment of the United States to an open investment policy encourages other countries to reciprocate and helps open new foreign markets for United States businesses; (3) it should continue to be the policy of the United States to enthusiastically welcome and support foreign investment, consistent with the protection of national security; (4) at the same time, the national security landscape has shifted in recent years, and so has the nature of the investments that pose the greatest potential risk to national security, which warrants an appropriate modernization of the processes and [[Page 132 STAT. 2176]] authorities of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and of the United States export control system; (5) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States plays a critical role in protecting the national security of the United States, and, therefore, it is essential that the member agencies of the Committee are adequately resourced and able to hire appropriately qualified individuals in a timely manner, and that those individuals' security clearances are processed as a high priority; (6) the President should conduct a more robust international outreach effort to urge and help allies and partners of the United States to establish processes that are similar to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to screen foreign investments for national security risks and to facilitate coordination; (7) the President should lead a collaborative effort with allies and partners of the United States to strengthen the multilateral export control regime; (8) any penalties imposed by the United States Government with respect to an individual or entity pursuant to a determination that the individual or entity has violated sanctions imposed by the United States or the export control laws of the United States should not be reversed for reasons unrelated to the national security of the United States; and (9) the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States should continue to review transactions for the purpose of protecting national security and should not consider issues of national interest absent a national security nexus. (c) Sense of Congress on Consideration of Covered Transactions.--It is the sense of Congress that, when considering national security risks, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States may consider-- (1) whether a covered transaction involves a country of special concern that has a demonstrated or declared strategic goal of acquiring a type of critical technology or critical infrastructure that would affect United States leadership in areas related to national security; (2) the potential national security-related effects of the cumulative control of, or pattern of recent transactions involving, any one type of critical infrastructure, energy asset, critical material, or critical technology by a foreign government or foreign person; (3) whether any foreign person engaging in a covered transaction with a United States business has a history of complying with United States laws and regulations; (4) the control of United States industries and commercial activity by foreign persons as it affects the capability and capacity of the United States to meet the requirements of national security, including the availability of human resources, products, technology, materials, and other supplies and services, and in considering ``the availability of human resources'', should construe that term to include potential losses of such availability resulting from reductions in the employment of United States persons whose knowledge or skills are critical to national security, including the continued production in the United States of items that are likely to be acquired by the [[Page 132 STAT. 2177]] Department of Defense or other Federal departments or agencies for the advancement of the national security of the United States; (5) the extent to which a covered transaction is likely to expose, either directly or indirectly, personally identifiable information, genetic information, or other sensitive data of United States citizens to access by a foreign government or foreign person that may exploit that information in a manner that threatens national security; and (6) whether a covered transaction is likely to have the effect of exacerbating or creating new cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the United States or is likely to result in a foreign government gaining a significant new capability to engage in malicious cyber-enabled activities against the United States, including such activities designed to affect the outcome of any election for Federal office.

The following is the policy of the United States: (1) To use export controls only after full consideration of the impact on the economy of the United States and only to the extent necessary-- (A) to restrict the export of items which would make a significant contribution to the military potential of any other country or combination of countries which would prove detrimental to the national security of the United States; and (B) to restrict the export of items if necessary to further significantly the foreign policy of the United States or to fulfill its declared international obligations. (2) The national security and foreign policy of the United States require that the export, reexport, and in-country transfer of items, and specific activities of United States persons, wherever located, be controlled for the following purposes: (A) To control the release of items for use in-- (i) the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or of conventional weapons; (ii) the acquisition of destabilizing numbers or types of conventional weapons; (iii) acts of terrorism; (iv) military programs that could pose a threat to the security of the United States or its allies; or (v) activities undertaken specifically to cause significant interference with or disruption of critical infrastructure. (B) To preserve the qualitative military superiority of the United States. (C) To strengthen the United States defense industrial base. (D) To carry out the foreign policy of the United States, including the protection of human rights and the promotion of democracy. (E) To carry out obligations and commitments under international agreements and arrangements, including multilateral export control regimes. (F) To facilitate military interoperability between the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other close allies. (G) To ensure national security controls are tailored to focus on those core technologies and other items that are capable of being used to pose a serious national security threat to the United States. (3) The national security of the United States requires that the United States maintain its leadership in the science, technology, engineering, and manufacturing sectors, including foundational technology that is essential to innovation. Such leadership requires that United States persons are competitive in global markets. The impact of the implementation of this part on such leadership and competitiveness must be evaluated on an ongoing basis and applied in imposing controls under sections 1753 and 1754 to avoid negatively affecting such leadership. (4) The national security and foreign policy of the United States require that the United States participate in multilateral [[Page 132 STAT. 2211]] organizations and agreements regarding export controls on items that are consistent with the policy of the United States, and take all the necessary steps to secure the adoption and consistent enforcement, by the governments of such countries, of export controls on items that are consistent with such policy. (5) Export controls should be coordinated with the multilateral export control regimes. Export controls that are multilateral are most effective, and should be tailored to focus on those core technologies and other items that are capable of being used to pose a serious national security threat to the United States and its allies. (6) Export controls applied unilaterally to items widely available from foreign sources generally are less effective in preventing end-users from acquiring those items. Application of unilateral export controls should be limited for purposes of protecting specific United States national security and foreign policy interests. (7) The effective administration of export controls requires a clear understanding both inside and outside the United States Government of which items are controlled and an efficient process should be created to regularly update the controls, such as by adding or removing such items. (8) The export control system must ensure that it is transparent, predictable, and timely, has the flexibility to be adapted to address new threats in the future, and allows seamless access to and sharing of export control information among all relevant United States national security and foreign policy agencies. (9) Implementation and enforcement of United States export controls require robust capabilities in monitoring, intelligence, and investigation, appropriate penalties for violations, and the ability to swiftly interdict unapproved transfers. (10) Export controls complement and are a critical element of the national security policies underlying the laws and regulations governing foreign direct investment in the United States, including controlling the transfer of critical technologies to certain foreign persons. Thus, the President, in coordination with the Secretary, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy, and the heads of other Federal agencies, as appropriate, should have a regular and robust process to identify the emerging and other types of critical technologies of concern and regulate their release to foreign persons as warranted regardless of the nature of the underlying transaction. Such identification efforts should draw upon the resources and expertise of all relevant parts of the United States Government, industry, and academia. These efforts should be in addition to traditional efforts to modernize and update the lists of controlled items under the multilateral export control regimes. (11) The authority under this part may be exercised only in furtherance of all of the objectives set forth in paragraphs (1) through (10).

SEC. 1772. <<NOTE: 50 USC 4841.>> STATEMENT OF POLICY. Congress declares it is the policy of the United States-- (1) to oppose restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign country against other countries friendly to the United States or against any United States person; (2) to encourage and, in specified cases, require United States persons engaged in the export of goods or technology or other information to refuse to take actions, including furnishing information or entering into or implementing agreements, which have the effect of furthering or supporting the restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign country against a country friendly to the United States or any United States person; and (3) to foster international cooperation and the development of international rules and institutions to assure reasonable access to world supplies.

(a) Prohibitions and Exceptions.-- (1) Prohibitions.--For the purpose of implementing the policies set forth in section 1772, the President shall issue regulations prohibiting any United States person, with respect to that person's activities in the interstate or foreign commerce of the United States, from taking or knowingly agreeing to take any of the following actions with intent to comply with, further, or support any boycott fostered or imposed by any foreign country, against a country which is friendly to the [[Page 132 STAT. 2235]] United States and which is not itself the object of any form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation: (A) Refusing, or requiring any other person to refuse, to do business with or in the boycotted country, with any business concern organized under the laws of the boycotted country, with any national or resident of the boycotted country, or with any other person, pursuant to an agreement with, a requirement of, or a request from or on behalf of the boycotting country. The mere absence of a business relationship with or in the boycotted country with any business concern organized under the laws of the boycotted country, with any national or resident of the boycotted country, or with any other person, does not indicate the existence of the intent required to establish a violation of regulations issued to carry out this subparagraph.
